ABAP SYNTAX FOR CALL FUNCTION

Variant 6

CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION func.

Effect

Calls the function module func . func must be a 3-character literal (e.g. '001')

In line with SAP's enhancement concept, function modules are delivered empty and must be implemented by the customer (the transactions used for this are SMOD at SAP and CMOD at the customer's).
The interface and call location are both defined by SAP.

The customer can use Transaction CMOD to activate the function module. The final name of the function module is compiled from EXIT_ , the name of the module pool where the function module is called, and the name func . For example, the statement " CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '001' " in the module pool SAPMS38M calls the function module EXIT_SAPMS38M_001.
